The TriState SenNet Tissue Mapping Center is an NIH-funded group of researchers at Pitt, CMU, OSU, & URMC who study cellular senescence in heart & lung tissue.
We love hosting CUSP students! If you're an undergraduate student interested in #senescence or #aging biology, this is the program for you. Applications for the 2025 cohort are open until January 25th.
Learn more about the program from past students: piped.video/watch?v=kb1WmS3u…
The 2025 Consortium Undergraduate Student Program (CUSP) is recruiting! Join us for summer internships focused on senescence study in a variety of research sites across the U.S.

Pelotonia Idea Grant awardees Drs. Catherine Chung, Walter Hanel, Qin Ma, (@QinMaBMBL), & Anna Vilgelm (@avilgelm) study whether non-malignant cells of the skin protect malignant T cells from therapies & therefore should be targeted to overcome resistance. bit.ly/3I3DY9u
Pelotonia Idea Grant recipients Drs. William Carson (@CarsonLabOSU), Qin Ma (@QinMaBMBL), and Gang Xin (@GangXin1) lead a study that will inform the development of promising treatments to restore responsiveness to PD-1 blockade for breast cancer patients. bit.ly/3I3DY9u
